be patient with yourself. it ain't all sunshine and lollipops just b/c you're on meds. they help you get perspective so you can re-learn how to live well -- like you mentioned the other day about being with people, being active. they give you that energy and the brain clarity to remember that more and more often.
but days can still suck. and not because you're failing somehow -- it's just becaus that's life. some days just suck. how you deal with that sucking is what is important. the meds will help you re-see how to manage that crap -- and you can be down without being out.
you know? it's not about being happy all the time (that's the stepford thing), it's about living well despite days that suck and times you're unhappy.
